I guess this is my chance to be rich. I received this email:

Greeting in the name of our lord Jesus Christ.I am Mrs.Julian Coker. A widow to late John Coker. I am 61 years old, I am now a new Christian convert, suffering from long time cancer of the breast, from all indication my conditions is really deteriorating and it is quite obvious that I will not live more than six months, according to my doctors, this is because the cancer stage has gotten To a very bad stage. My late husband killed during the U.S. raid against terrorism in Afghanistan, and during the period of our marriage we could not Produce any child. My late husband was very wealthy and after his death, I inherited all His business and wealth. The doctors has advised me that I may not Live for more than six months, so I now decided to divide the part of This wealth, to contribute to the development of the church in Africa, America Asia, and Europe. I prayed over it, I am a willing to donate the sum of $5,000.000.00 us dollars, to the less privileged. Please I want you to note that fund is lying in a security company and upon my Instruction, my attorney, who presently is in Africa distributing Relief materials to of bombast in slerra-leone, will file in an application for the transfer of the money in your name. Lastly, I honestly pray that this money when transferred will be used for the said purpose, because I have come to find out that wealth acquisition and without Christ is vanity. May the grace of our Lord Jesus the love of god and the fellowship of god be with you and Your family. I await urgent reply. Yours in Christ. Mrs. Julian Coker. reply to julianbrowns@yahoo.co.uk or coker_ng_@fusemail.com

You will notice that the English is not very good for someone named Coker. I wonder if many Nigerians are named "Coker"? You will also notice that "God" is always spelled with a lower case "g". As if it were a little hard for you to refer to someone other than Allah as God.

I've decided to pass, but if you want to send "Ms. Coker" your regards, you now have her email address.
